From Dead to Worse by Charlaine Harris - 4 Stars

Sookie Stackhouse is still recovering from the recent disaster of Hurricane Katrina and the explosion at the vampire summit, but she is safe. Her boyfriend, Quinn, is missing and things in the vampire world are rapidly changing. Sookie once again finds herself at the center of the vampire world, where things are about to change drastically. 

I enjoy the Sookie Stackhouse books, but found this one to lag a bit in the middle. Not on the top of my list, but still enjoyable.

It's Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini - 4 Stars

Craig is your typical teenaged boy, but is driven by his desire to get in to a top Manhattan pre-professional school. The stress of the school gets to him and he feels like he wants to commit suicide. Craig checks himself in to the local psychiatric hospital. This is where he meets many different people with many different issues. 

I enjoyed this one, but not on the top of my list for the year. The story was good and the characters were relatable.
